The beautiful Gothic Revival building is in the Van Wyck Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. FUSP elected to give their cherished structure to the City during the City's 150th Anniversary year acknowledging the congregation's commitment to justice and culture and the dedication of Mayor Adrian O.

The City Department of Health and Social Services supervises P-PAC, reinforcing that arts, health, and workforce development are vital parts of a healthy, thriving Plainfield.
